Should/will Poland do the same? Has any party figured out that an extremely tough immigration stance is a winning proposition?

    The birth rates are going down, if we want to enforce this kind of rule we need to firstly have a country where people feel safe to raise children

  2. No, he is the same kind of fascist as Orban was. He was in Fidesz not that long ago too.

    The only change that happened in Hungary was replacement of anti-EU fascists with pro-EU fascists.

    *Can* Poland do the same? Now that North Korean workers are not an option…

    Wow, that’s a bit harsh.
    I’ll check the details once I find the original.

    Think about, e.g. a US corporation bringing a manager to Hungary to help set up a new project, or a specialist scientist, to train local staff… Seems too disruptive.

    With our demographics? It would be suicide. 

    There are currently 2 ways to not have country collapsed in not-so-far future:

    – drastic and sudden grow of fertility rate, and letting immigrants in for next 25 years until these new kids will grow and join workforce

    – letting immigrants in all the time

    There is no 3rd way. Getting rid of immigrants means collapse of the country, and I mean *real* collapse.

    Edit: I’m not saying that letting immigrants in all the time is good. It’s bad long term. It’s just still kinda better than collapse of the country because of retires being 40-50% of population, and it’s where we are slowly heading

    I would really like Poland to work on the last sentence. Right now getting my citizenship confirmation from the Mazowieckie voivodship is projected to take 18 months. If you actually want the Polish diaspora to return, then speed up the process for us to return.

    It’s something fine to try, but you also have to be willing to change it if it’s clearly not working. It will be very hard for Poland/Hungary to convince enough of its people to return from UK/US/CA/FR etc. After all these years.

  8. 1. No, we shouldn’t. This is silly, populistic and bad for the economy.
    2. This is just the same strategy as Tusk’s. Attempt to demobilize right-wing voters by supporting the anti-immigration agenda and thus attempting to invalidate the entire right-wing propaganda machine which has been extremely focused on migragion for at least 10 years now. Magyar just went to an absurd extreme.

    Can’t find any credible source with this news so unless it comes out from a credible source then it’s bullshit. Eitherway it’s not possible to have such a policy in place. It will drive their economy to the ground and force foreign companies to go elsewhere and cause a drastic increase in unemployment and skilled labor shortage. More Hungarians will be forced to leave the country to go where the economy and job markets are stable. Before you try argue against my point, know that I could care less.

  10. “Non-European” is an absurdly wide term. I’m yet to meet a single person that had any issues with Chinese or Vietnamese immigrants.

  11. firstmoonbunny on

    but why? Poland has consistently lower unemployment rates than Hungary. non-european workers are doing fine, they’re not really creating any cultural conflict. what problem would this even solve?

  12. Chemiczny_Bogdan on

    Yeah, everyone to the right of Lewica is fearmongering about migrants. The effect so far is that insane pro-Russian groups have gained a lot of popularity, so I wouldn’t call it good for the country.

  13. Low-Photo-4312 on

    Poland should and will do the same. It’s not extremely tough – it’s the only way to survive.

  14. Plus_Calligrapher_93 on

    poland needs millions imigrants, its crazy to have such idea like madyar, but with polish racism and stupidity i’m sure a lot of polish people would support this plan

  15. Glass-News-9184 on

    Absolutely. I can see “ethnic Poles” come back in numbers to take over Glovo delivery, and Asian bars from non-EU migrants as they leave.

  16. Hi! Hungarian here. I see a lot of people think that Magyar wants no one to come to Hungary.

    What he actually means are low-skilled workers from 3rd world countries that Orbán has imported. (Mainly from the Philippines)

    They are not even residents or anything, usually they stay here for a couple of years with temporary visas and they go back after.

    This is not a crazy amount of people, hence would not be such a big loss to Hungary. Thousand of Hungarians were laid off because of them in the past few years and wages were supressed beacuse of it.

    Also, Orbán loved to make deals with the Chinese to build Chinese factories, with Chinese money and from Chinese loans, only so that Chinese workers can be imported and employed to create profit for the Chinese for which they don’t have to pay much tax because of course they get massive tax breaks. This would also concern that.

    This wouldn’t mean Hungary wouldn’t want high-skilled workers to come to Hungary.

  17. Silly_Conflict_6577 on

    Well they elected him because of economic disaster which Orban did and now Magyar is going to continue the economic downfall with that populistic ideas

  18. Fuck fascists and nationalists. I just wanna remind everyone hes old firend of Orban

  19. PinkFluffyUnicorn21 on

    Hell fuckin no- half of it runs on Indians, migrated to us as well. There’s no way that would be beneficial. If they pay taxes- I see no issue regardless of nationality of set individual

  20. lol..and here I was downvoted in the previous post on election day when I said he/his party are still right wing

  21. Brilliant_Taste4830 on

    i didnt expect him to pivot to the right this early, thats gotta be a world record for conservative liberals

  22. We-all-gonna-die-oh on

    Actually no, it doesn’t really help win parties that aren’t conservatives or right wing.

    Why?

    Even if you start having strong stance against immigration, every single time there will be some alt-right party that will have more radical stance on immigration.

    At best you’re gonna just convince your voters that immigrants are the problem, which will fuel the popularity of right wing parties.

  23. Honest-West9013 on

    Yes, it should. Right now we have “invisible” migration of foreign “students” coming here and instead of learning, they work illegally in slave camps. Oftenly below minimum wage.

    It is visible in recent statistics of PL productivity gains. With no investments PL has increase in productivity and at the same time rise in unemployment. Meaning – grey area economy grows, profits from unregistered job activity are invisible to the system or system eants them to be invisible.

    Capital needs to be pushed into balance with current workforce. Meaning – usage of current resource and finding a cash to investing into local population.

    Without it they will not be able to survive thus companies closing, thus less demand, thus lowering prices of housing in big5.

    Win win honestly.

    Dude, seriously, who even wants to go to Hungary? I mean, I love Poland and Hungary, but you guys are totally missing the point. Immigrants are avoiding Eastern Europe not because these countries don’t want them or have strict rules!!!! it’s not like that at all! They head to Germany, the UK, and France for those high paying salaries, not the lower salary spots like Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and so on. no immigrant wanna move to low salary country!

  25. Immigrant boosts economy. Proven economics. But it’s easy to fool people, for non-scientific agenda.

  26. This is exactly what got PIS (Law and Justice) elected in 2015 – they were fearmongering that their opponents would agree to UE migrant relocation plans. Plans assumed intake of ~7000 migrants. After coming to power, PIS enabled migration from non-European countries such as India, Pakistan, Tadjikistan, Azerbaijan etc.
